Does anyone else feel like there getting bent over just to go on RollingStones.Com. The Greatest and Richest Rock 'N' Roll band in the world is making it's fans pay to see shit on their site...F*#*#* Gross. Fan Club Fees are for Bitches!! God I can't wait for the new album and tour so I can think about the good things the Stones do and not all the big business they stand for now..I bet Keith & Ronnie block it out so they can sleep at night..Cuz websites aint rock'n' roll...At first Keith tried to rape us for money to see his website too...but he came around and now his site is free..as it should be..although you can buy your dog some X-spenive winos gear there..

But, as soon as they made Keith's site FREE, it virtually SHUT DOWN, No MORE EMAILS FOR MEMBERS, NO NEWS, NO NEW ASK KEEF QUESTIONS.

It's FREE, but you don't get nothin'.


SHAMEFUL!

So, whats NEW?

"Fuc the Rock babe, I want the Roll." (KR)

Yeah I noticed that too....Big Joke.

One day people will realize what it really cost to run a professiona web site.

Kinda tiresome, these assumptions that Mick's behind it all, and Keith & Ronnie 'shut it out'. If only Mick wasn't in the band - Keith & Ronnie would be mailing us all money!

The glimmers go to sleep every night laughing all the way to the bank and
check there Huge Stock Portfolios in the morning - Go read that FORTUNE 500
Artilce they did on the CORPORATION the Rolling Stones.

Keith how do you sleep at night taking song credits away from Mick Taylor.
Did the stones kick in money for Ronnie Lane and all other rock musicians
that needed money over the years from time to time.

well in that case the Stones must be the only people in the world who run one..

LoFL - yeah, that $19.95 a year that KeithRichards.com used to charge for an email account was somethin else, man! when the site was made free, they offered to refund the balance of my membership fee for the year, and i said:
"you can keep the money, Keith!"
what a beautiful buzz! :E



"What do you want - what?!"
- Keith

The question is what sort of site you want to offer. If you're all about getting to attention to your projects (releases, concerts, etc), then it's probably a good idea to update the site as many times as possible with news, video's, etc.

The Rolling Stones site is like a shop. Everything's for sale. You want to watch something interesting? Pay. It's more like a vehicle for the fanclub anyway.

And come on! The Stones haven't released anything new for the last 8 years. It would have been nice to post some previously unreleased video's, songs, quotes. In Holland we have a saying: old wine in new bags. That's exactly what rs.com is all about. Expensive old wine.

well, they earn enough to keep hundreds running, so that won't be a problem

There will never be another CORPORATION like the Rolling Stones again.

OK it's all about money and to pay 100 USD membership just to get a better seat or like the bowl a ticket at all is wired to me. What I don't like about the rs.com is that it is very badly structured and not very efficient. To me they running a bit behind the scene. Either my brain is to old or I'm just not with it, but with the message board I'm lost. The only reason for the rs.com for me was to pay that entrace fee of little 100 USD just to be able to get tickets.
And that's not very much. I would expect a little bit more information and videos.
